1 night stay
We chose to stay in Douglas because of its convenient location near the beach. The owner was easily accessible and approachable, and we found the property with their help. We were also pleasantly welcomed by the cleaner. The property itself was kept clean, and the kitchen amenities were available for use. The washing machine was located outside. However, the bathroom was basic and unfortunately of poor quality. After a bit of searching, we managed to find plenty of towels.At night, the quality of sleep was poor due to noise from the neighbors and the water mattress, which wasn't comfortable. The pillows also left something to be desired.Overall, the best feature of the property is itslocation, with a short walk to the beach.

We had a wonderful time. This is probably the 5th time that we stayed in this house. In the past we always had the downstairs flat. This time we were upstairs. Downstairs is a little nicer.

Speightstown Apartment A - Lovely, Peaceful stay
My sister and I stayed in Apartment A (upstairs). We had a lovely stay in the apartments, with no complaints. It has everything you would need for it to be a comfortable stay, plus fabulous showers!

Comfortable and well-equipped apartment
Apartment A is upstairs and gets a wonderful beeeze, keeping it comfortable. We never used the air conditioner. It is very well equipped with all the linens, towels and kitchen essentials you could ever need. It's a great kitchen for a rental in this price range. We enjoyed our stay!

Great place to stay
I am a wheelchair user and it was difficult to find a suitable place. I came across this property and asked family on the island to look at it for me. I read the reviews and got a good report from my family and booked it with my sister. We were not disappointed. Gabriel met us at the apartment and showed us around. everything we required to make our stay comfortable was made available. Someone was always ready to answer questions or provide us with help/advice if needed. The apartment is great and I recommend it to anyone looking to rent close to a beach at a great price.

HOME AWAY FROM HOME
This is our 3rd year in a row at this apartment and we didn't even plan to stay here this year! We decided that we wanted to try the "touristy" end of the island for a change. We booked an apartment in Worthing and stayed for 3 nights in Worthing, just across from Accra beach and it was beautiful, it was much cheaper to live as it is really cheap to eat out and the supermarkets are cheaper than in Speightstown, however, we ended up in a situation where we wanted to leave the apartment we had booked and I spent 2 days trying to book other apartments (Thanks for not even replying owner not too far away!!!). anyway, I saw that this apartment was not booked so I Skyped Paul in Ireland and explained the situation. He just said "get yourself down there, I will call Gabriel and let him know you are on your way". How great was that! Paul I cant thank you enough. we stayed for a week then booked into a hotel in the South for the remainder of our Holiday. It was nice to stay in a different part but if you want value for money, clean and comfortable,excellent location and absolutely EVEYTHING you could need(even noticed a buggy and baby bath this year), a lovely neighbourhood with the lovely Gabriel and Jan close to hand if needed, then LOOK NO FURTHER than one of these apartments. I prefer upstairs because I don't like frogs but I love this place and next time, I wont even bother considering staying anywhere else on the island (unless I have won the lottery).

House in Barbados
The house is very nice and clean, located in a very good neighbourhood near a wonderful beach. Also the owner is very kind and his brother in law was there to welcome us and show us all the details. I'd surely rent it again and recomend it to all my friends!

Fantastic Apartment
We stayed in Apartment A, which has all the comforts and facilities of home. Jan and Gabriel made us feel welcome and were very helpful during our stay, even kindly arranging flowers and champagne for our wedding anniversary, which I had requested. The property is in an ideal location, being just a short walk away from the beach, Jordans supermarket, restaurants such as Juma's and Orange Street Grocer, and the bus service (highly recommend a trip on the yellow buses!) As a result, we have already recommended it to family and friends, and plan to return in the future if available.

Why I Love This Property!
I have stayed at this property at least four times. I love it! The owners, greet you upon arrival. They make you feel right at home. Any problems, they are just a phone call away. The apartment is comfortable, clean and well supplied. My husband and I like to cook, everything you need is right there. The patios are lovely and there is always a welcome breeze and of course beautiful foliage. You have cable tv on a nice flat screen, ac in the living room and online services. The property listing is quite accurate. You are about 5 minutes from the beach, 10 mins. from Speightstown, where you can purchase groceries. There is also a great bakery in case you have a sweet tooth. The buses are nearby and this is a safe neighborhood. Most importantly, this great property is affordable. In fact, you have to book early or otherwise it is quickly booked. I have enjoyed this property everytime I've stayed! I would recommend this property to friends and family.

Perfect!
We stayed at this apartment for 3 weeks. It wasnt the first place we were going to book but this one was nearer to Speightstown and we definately made the right choice. Booking was soooooooo easy as we were dealing with someone based in the U.K. but if I remeber correctly, it only took 2 emails!.The agent gabriel was really nice and only a call away if we had any problems (which we didnt) The apartment isexactly as in the pictures, nothing special to look at but itwas massive, very clean and had everything you could need for a self-catering holiday, and I mean EVERYTHING - even beach towels! It is in the ideal location for beautiful quiet West coast beaches (5 minutes walk away from Heywoods/ Almond village beach),the Town and the Bus terminal. We hired a car for two of of three weeks (we got the number via renting this apartment and made a good friend with the owner Steve at the same time). It is situated in a lovely friendly neighbourhood. This was my first time to Barbados (my partner was brought up in Speightstown as a child) but I will be back next year and we will be booking this same apartment and car again (and again and again..........)

Wonderful Family holiday
The apartment was just simply perfect. We had a wonderful family holiday there (2 adults and 2 children). It was very well and beautiful furnished and the kitchen had absolutely everything you need. It was very also very clean and having 2 shower rooms was great. The location was perfect and we even had the ice cream van passing almost every day:) Thank you so much. We hope to come back. Nadia

Value for money
We (party of 3) had a most enjoyable 2 week stay in Heywoods. The apartment which is located in a quiet residential area had ample room with a large kitchen that had pretty much everything you need for preparing meals. Although it has a small veranda an outside dining area would have enhanced our stay as we do like to eat outside when on holiday. The shops and beach (Heywoods beach recommended) were within walking distance and there were plenty of street vendors selling fresh fruit and vegetables on the high street. The Fisherman Pub in Speightstown provides good local food at a very reasonable price. We had a rental car for travelling around the island and Bathsheba was one of our favourite spots. We would recommend this property would certainly like to return to Holders Hey.

AMAZING place, FANTASTIC owner
We rented this place from the owner Paul. Arranging the rental was very easy, we paid the deposit and the remainder of the payment using paypal. We were 5 friends coming to Barbados to do spearfishing and diving. The place is about 1-1:30 from the airport. If you are arrive before 11pm, you can take the bus straight into town for 1USD. If you miss the bus, then its 45$ for a cab. The place is tucked away from the main street which makes it quiet. Its only about 7 min walk to the beach, and about 10 min walk to town where you can find groceries, restaurants, etc. You probably wont need a car since the place is close to a major bus station. Diving from the beach close to the place was pretty good, fishing was good too, but bring a dive flag as there are many boats. The place itself was spotless and exactly as described. Paul was very approachable and was a pleasure to deal with. I would certainly rent from him again. Thanks so much Paul

Great apartment for a family vacation
While the apartment is not posh, it was more than adequate for comfortable stay for a family of 4 with kids aged 4 and 14. During our stay, the temperature was not too hot, so we had no use for A/C. The owners were friendly and accommodating. Since we were arriving very late at night, we inquired if it is possible to provide us with light dinner; we got it and were very happy with it. The apartment is located in a nice residential area fairly close to a gorgeous beach and a town, so there was no real need to get a car. Still, I would highly recommend renting a car for at least a couple of days, as it allows accessing the rest the gorgeous islands. We rented a car from Steve (whose contact is provided in the property listing) and were very satisfied with the experience as well, especially given that finding a car from agency was fairly difficult during the high season. The bottom-line: we were very satisfied with both Barbados in general and our rental in particular, and will definitely try to come back again.

A family holiday in paradise
I rented this property for my family of four. The property was adequate for our needs. The island was really hot but the air condtioning in the house made a huge difference. All of the bedrooms were a good size and bedding and towels were provided. My teenage children enjoyed the satellite channels which were available The house is within a reasonable walking distance to the beach which we were tempted to visit daily. The locals in Barbados are extremely friendly and make you feel really welcome. The nearest town to the house is within a short walking distance and has several banks, a large supermarket which delivers your shopping if you wish. We found a great pub/restaurant, (Fishermans Pub) which made a fantastic choice of meals and had really friendly staff. There was plenty of public transport a short walk away from the house at very reasonable prices. We would recommend this house to others who chose to visit Barbados and would definitely rent this home again.

X-mas at Heywoods
We enjoyed our stay. We are repeat customers. The only criticism we have is the lack of cooking related items. We had to borrow a grater from a neighbour. Also should have more bowls and dishes.

Enjoyable stay
We stayed at this location for 16 days , September 4 - 20, 2024 we enjoyed the peacefulness of the community . This location is perfect because of the distance to speighstown and the beach. On the negative side, the lighting in the bathrooms are not good for shaving. I would recommend that the chairs in the living room be steamed between clients. Chairs are needed for the balcony. However, I would stay here again.
